Multiple EOS Utility Programs at once?

Hi everyone,

 

I have a really quick question.  I have a project where I have 4 Rebel T3I's connected to a machine and want to know if there is a way to launch an individual EOS Utility application for each one.  When I first launch the utility, it asks me to choose which device I want to use.  To save time by closing and re-opening the application to choose a different device, I'd like to just run four applications simultaneously.  It's not the end of the world if I can't, it would just make life a little easier.  

 

Thanks!

dthielemier,

 

You are correct.  Multiple instances of EOS Utility cannot be launched to connect to multiple different cameras.

Hi dthielemier, The EOS Utility is cannot access more than one camera at a time. I regret any difficulty this causes. Richard

Richard,

So there is no way to launch multiple applications, with each accessing a different camera?

I too would like to do this. I like to have one camera on me, and one overhead. I wonder why this is not possible. It seems like after 7 years since this post, this should be possible. Currently I have to use only one camera overhead, and my laptop camera for the main. Perhaps I should not have purchased 2 canon cameras.
